Chapter Summaries

At a tense council in Yaochi, Great Saint Wanhun urged the Human Race and the Primordial Myriad Races to unite against Red Demon Heavenly Venerable, but the absent expert who had repelled him gave the ancient races an opening to demand territory. The Human Race faced a choice between resisting and conceding land as the Primordial Myriad Races prepared to emerge.

• The Queen Mother of the West warned the Primordial Myriad Races from within Yaochi, while an ancestor of the Jiang Family asked which territories they wanted.

Wan Qing, the Demon Race's Azure Emperor, intervened when the Primordial Myriad Races demanded the Central Plains from the Human Race. After revealing his origins as an Immortal Medicine and confronting the five Great Saints, he charged into the cosmos to fight them alone.

Luo Yan confronted a Supreme from the Undying Mountain after the Desolate Pagoda threatened Great Saint Wanhun, and the Supreme revealed the hidden paradise and the three survivors within the forbidden zone. Luo Yan refused to enter and fight, arguing that the Supreme would not dare leave the mountain and pay the cost of ultimate sublimation.

• Great Saint Wanhun pleaded with Wan Qing to stop, while Lü Jingshun urged Wan Qing to crush the Primordial Myriad Races’ powerhouses and suppress their weapons.
• A figure from the Undying Mountain intervened to protect Great Saint Wanhun, and the Void Mirror awakened as the mountain’s Supreme declared that he would honor his oath but would not let the Saint Spirit die.
• Luo Yan stepped forward and challenged the Supreme, who recognized him as the same dying man from three hundred years earlier.
• Luo Yan used a Broken Mirror to pierce the Undying Mountain’s haze, revealing a Peach Garden, the Black Tortoise Immortal Medicine, and three remaining figures.

Luo Yan forced the Stone Emperor to withdraw, then returned to Yaochi Holy Land and called on the Human Race to demand compensation from clans that had attacked them. He left the cultivators with a plan to keep a list of hostile races, while the Red Demon Heavenly Venerable remained the greater threat.

After Luo Yan ended the battle, he promised the factions that the Desolate Pagoda could remove the Red Mark and warned the Primordial Myriad Races away from the Human Race. A hundred years later, Wan Qing passed his Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, leaving the universe to wonder whether he would become an emperor in the Dharma-Ending Era.

• Wan Qing passed the tribulation, and the gathered Demon Race powerhouses wondered whether he would become their next Demon Emperor.

After the Azure Emperor reached Quasi-Emperor, Luo Yan subdued him and then took the Desolate Pagoda to investigate the Red Demon Heavenly Venerable at the Primordial Ancient Mine. There, the Pagoda and an ancient Supreme joined forces to track the Red Demon, whose image appeared outside the Divine Ruins.

Five hundred years later, Azure Emperor began his tribulation to claim the imperial throne, while Luo Yan tried to leave the secret realm before Azure Emperor could return and challenge him.

• The Primordial Ancient Mine’s Supreme struck Red Demon Heavenly Venerable, then betrayed the Desolate Pagoda while trying to seize its undying substance.

• Luo Yan escaped the Secret Realm and warned the Desolate Pagoda not to create an Immortal Domain with the Azure Emperor, while insisting that the Azure Emperor must survive.
• The Desolate Pagoda learned that Luo Yan was a future Immortal King in a Puppet body, sealed away its memories of him, and sent him away when the ancient era began rejecting his presence.

• Luo Yan and the Time Mirror harvested the River of Time, and the mirror turned into a dam to devour a massive incoming surge.

Luo Yan returned to the present after five years of seclusion and learned that Ye Fan had vanished into the starry sky with an ancient coffin. He prepared to travel to the Big Dipper and offered Ye Fan’s parents the choice of staying on Earth or going with him, leaving them undecided.

• Luo Yan landed in his modern home in a child’s body, and Donkey Erdan realized he was his master after Dragon Horse climbed on him.
• Donkey told Luo Yan that nine dragon corpses had pulled an ancient coffin to Earth and that Ye Fan had disappeared into the starry sky; Luo Yan decided to return to the Big Dipper.
• Dragon Horse begged to join them, and Luo Yan set off with Dragon Horse and Donkey to visit Ye Fan’s parents.
• Luo Yan reassured Ye Fan’s parents that Ye Fan was safe and explained that he was on the Big Dipper, far beyond Earth’s reach.
• Luo Yan offered Ye Fan’s parents life-extending medicine if they stayed on Earth or a journey with him to the Big Dipper, and they hesitated over the choice.

Luo Yan left Earth after giving Ye Fan’s elders life-extending herbs, then arrived at a volcanic ruin where humans and demons disputed the newly emerged mausoleum of the Demon Race’s last Great Emperor. As both sides prepared to enter, Luo Yan gave Donkey and Dragon Horse copies of the Demon Emperor Method.

• Luo Yan gave Ye Fan’s elders life-extending herbs and promised Ye Fan would return within twenty years before departing along the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

• Luo Yan passed the two mounts copies of the incomplete Demon Emperor Method, and they eagerly began practicing it.

Luo Yan arrived at the volcanic battlefield and found Ye Fan trying to reach Pang Bo, whose body had been taken over by a Demon King. After reuniting with Ye Fan, Luo Yan explained that the possession could help Pang Bo awaken his Demon God bloodline, while he stayed out of the distant battle.

• Luo Yan told Ye Fan that powerful beings from all the Life Forbidden Zones except the Desolate Forbidden Zone were his enemies and said he was counting on Ye Fan to defeat them.
• Dragon Horse and Donkey panicked at the revelation, and Dragon Horse suggested that they defect together.

Luo Yan seized the Azure Emperor’s Demon Emperor’s Heart after it emerged from the shattered Crystal Coffin, then escaped the mausoleum’s deadly upheaval with Ye Fan and his mounts. Pang Bo, possessed by a Demon King, caught up to demand the heart, but it chose Luo Yan and the two sides faced off.

• The Ji Family and Yaoguang Holy Land rushed into the ancient hall, where the Demon Emperor’s Mausoleum released a Crystal Coffin and Pang Bo pursued it.

• Dragon Horse revealed his true appearance, while Luo Yan warned the demon possessing Pang Bo that he would help Pang Bo suppress it when the time came.
• A divine jade ark drawn by Qilin Beasts approached, but its occupants and Pang Bo’s group avoided a fight over the Demon Emperor’s Heart.

• Duan De arrived and tried to claim the treasures, but Luo Yan seized him, knocked him down, and had Ye Fan tie him up.
• Luo Yan asked Duan De for weapons, and Duan De produced a pile of flashy but useless props; Luo Yan broke one of his bones when he claimed they were his entire fortune.

Luo Yan and his companions robbed Duan De of his treasures, then outwitted him until he finally fled. After Dragon Horse and Donkey drove off a cultivator who tried to seize their prize, Luo Yan collected the Green Copper Fragment, which joined with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

• The Demon Race’s Treasure-Gathering Basin emerged from a split mountain, and the supreme treasure curved toward Luo Yan before entering it, drawn by the Demon Emperor’s Heart above his head.

Luo Yan and his companions left the ancient hall with the Demon Emperor’s Heart as the Demon Emperor’s descendant escaped with the Treasure-Gathering Basin. Days later, Duan De caught up with them, hoping to use the heart to draw out the Demon Emperor’s supreme treasure and learn what Luo Yan knew about his past.

• Luo Yan and Ye Fan traveled with Dragon Horse and Donkey toward a small town after several days on the road.
• At a Demon Race sect, Yan Ruyu questioned why the Emperor Weapon could not summon the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, and Pang Bo said it had been drawn to Luo Yan.
• Pang Bo insisted Luo Yan was human, then resolved with Yan Ruyu to find a way to take the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart back.

Pang Bo warned Yan Ruyu about his unstable primordial spirit and discussed reclaiming the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart, while Duan De proposed joining forces to take it from the boy. Later, Luo Yan, Ye Fan, Donkey, and Dragon Horse stopped at a town eatery, where Luo Yan shared spiritual fruits with the hungry group.

• Pang Bo told Yan Ruyu to claim the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart if his other soul suppressed him, and said he would help her fuse with it after their marriage.
